Twas his own that struck the blow

have given it as my opinion that none
but registered phaFm cists should be grant
ed a permit by the judge, for the reason that
permits cannot be issued by the probate
judge to persons not lawfully engaged in the
business of druggists, audit will be observed
that none but pharmacists can lawfully en-
gage In the business 1 am sorry to say,
however, that IN some counties the five cent
fee spe axis louder than tae opinion OF the
attorney general. l have given it as my
opinion from the beginning that the pro
bate judge Is not entitled to a fee OF five
cents each for the statements filed monthly
by the druggists.
The privilege Of selling spirits granted to
the dealers in drugs Is fosrfully abused by
many. Having practically rid the state of
the saloons, the legislature should now speak
with no uncertain sound. They should guard
the sale and purify the article.
The prohibitOry law should be amended
in several respects. Probate judges should
collected at all, turned over to the county
treasurer for the benefit of some fund to as
SYST in making the law more efectusl.
In addition to the affidavit now made by
druggists that the statements filed by him
each month represent all the liquors sold
by him, require him to state under oath that
the persons applying for the same were per
sons known to him, or were identified, and
that the liquors sold were desired for legiti-
mate purposes, that is, for purposes for
which liquors are legitimately or scienti6-
cally or mechanically used, and that in Rd-
dition thereto, that the applicant sign his
own and not fictitious name to the state
ment. The state ment made by the appli-
cant should be sworn to, and that false
statement should subject the person making
the same to prosecution for perjury.
Drunkenness should be punished by fine
and imprisonment, and not in the aIterpa-
tive.
The search and seizure portion OF the law
of 1885 should be made more definite and
certain, and, If possible, more vigorous than
it now is

ems Of districts. am clearly OF the
opinion that the state should levy 3 one
mill tax and distribute It throughout the
state as the present state fund is distrlb-
uted, and that there should be q board
composed say OF the county superinbend-
emit and county commissioners, to make
such county levy as would, with the
funds received from the state, maintain
the schools of the county six months
each year, said funds to be distributed
to the several schools OF the county in
SUCH manner as would secure six months
school IN each district. I think such
board should be charged with the locat-
ing of the school houses, and the provid-
ing Of the funds for the building O. the
same by a tax upon the property OF the
county, excluding cities Of the frs and
second class. Those districts that desire
to maintain more than six months
school should be permitted to vote such
additional tax upon themselves as would
enable them to extend their school term
not to exceed nine months. Is there
not danger Of losing that general inter
est which we now have under the district
system, should we pass to the township
system AID thereby place the control OF
our schools in the hands of few? It
seems to me that by carefully consid-
eTC7 law providing for system of school
taxation by the county, and the locating
and building of school houses by the
same authority. the burden OF taxation
could be more equally distributed, and
the school houses so located as to more
fully accommodate the children than by
any other system. Such a thing as
district financially weak would be IN
known; hence, this man or that man
would have no incentive in the way of
escaping taxation to ask to be transferred
from one district to another.
FREE TEXT BoOKs-PURCHAsED By THE
DISTRICT.
The states that have tried the plan of
furnishing text books to pupils free, the
district owning them and permitting the
use of them by the pupils under certain
definite regulations, are we'll satisfied
with this method of supplying their
schools with books. Every year more
and more districts adopt the plan, on &C
count Of the great economy to the pat
rOns of the schools. The following are
among the many advantages of this
method Of supplying text books:
First-The pupils are supplied with
the books when needed. When each
patron supplies his own books, from one
to two weeks time is lost through lack
Of the necessary books at the commence
ment of each term.
Second Uniformity is secured.
Third-It is much less expensive than
any other system. After a trial of five
years by the town of Orono, Maine, it
was found that the yearly cost per
was only 268 cents-a large re-
duction in cost over any other plan that
has been tried.
FOurth-It largely increases the at
tendance upon the schools, especially
among the poor, who are frequently un-
able to purchase the necessary books.

SCHOOL LAND FRAUDS.
over 100000 Saved to the At of
Kansas.

Over 100000 Saved to the At OF
Kansas.
TOPEKA KAN, December 28.-Attorney
General Bradford has been very active in the
matter of putting stop 70 the wholesale
stealing of school lands, which has been
going on in Kansas for some time past.
Touching this matter Mr.. Bradford, IN his
forthcoming report to Governor John A.
Martin, will say:
Soon after 1 came into office, in January,
1885, was informed by various parties hv-
ing in the western counties of the state, that
fraud was being perpetrated in the sale of
school lands. I gave the matter my i'm
mediate attention. In Ellis county found
thPt 30, go acres of land had been advertised
for sale upon petitions presented regul arly
upon their face, fraudulent IN fact
In this way every acre Of school land re-
naming unsold in Ellis county was adveF-
tised to be sold, after being appraised at s.
per acre, at the same time being worth from
81 to So per acre.
The syndicate formed for the purchase Of
these lands would have purchased for So all
of these lands. The sale was enjOined. The
Injunction was made perpetual, and the
land subsequently, all sold to actual settlers
at profit to the state Of S92, 600.
Like frauds have been perpetrated IN
Pratt county, Kansas, long prior to my com
ing into Office. 1 commenced a proceeding
in the district court of Pratt cOBnty to set
aside the contracts made for the sale OF
Upon investigation I find that in Finney
county 125,O00 acres had been advertised
pursuant to petitions presented IN like
manner to the petitions IN Ellis county,
which sale also caused to be abandoned.
! have directed suits to be brought in var
iOus other of the western counties of the
state, and have recovered large tracts Of land
from the clutches Of the syndicates and
spectators, which have since been sold to
actual settlers.
It is safe to say that I have saved to the
state by reason of the several actions
brought and finally determined, about
$780, 900 at an expense TO the state not "a
exceed 81, 600 to 81 200.
To successfully prosecute these cases eZ-
pense has been, and necessarily will have to
be incurred, for which some appropriation
ought to be made, the amount of which
have nOt,sscertained, owing to thesfEct that
the cases are still undetermined. Should
the cases be successful an additional SlGO
900 will be saved TO the permanent school
fund, and in my judgement, the state can
well afford to appropriate 81, 800 or SOU
or so much thereof as may be necessary 70
defray the expense.
After the experience have and the inves-
LEGATION have made, ] think I am safe IN
saying that the permanent school fund OF
Kansas has lost at least 81, 100000 for want
of proper attention to the sale of school
lands.

JOHN A. LOGAN GONE.
Death Claims The "Blaek Eagle" Of III
mois

CHICAGO, Dec. 29,-Funeral services over
the remains of Senator Logan will be held
in the senate chamber on January 8, when
the body viii be placed IN vault. AT an
informal meeting of citizens of Chicago,
il was stated that burial lot had been ten
dered by the Union League club. A COM
mittee was appointed to secure the burial IN
Chicago. A guard of honor was last even
ing sent to Calumet Place by the secretary
of war. James G. Blaine has requested his
son Walker to represent him at the funeral
In Chicago.
The last public speech made by General
Logan was at the campfire at Youngstown,
O., on November Is. Though needing rest,
at the earnest solicitation of friends he
came, and, though the day was most inclem-
ent, rode IN an open carriage over the line
of parade, and was SO thoroughly chilled
that he remarked! 81 can't stand cold as
aid formerly" In the evening he was given
an ovation at the opera house, and the re-
ception indicated the strong hold he had
upon the people. Commander Eddy, OF Tod
post, to-day wired a long message of condo
lence to Mrs. Logan, and the post tonight
selected a committee to attend the OBJ
sequies.
In the course of Gen. Logan remarks dur
ing his speech in YOungstO Wn, he said.
81 am often accused of saying things that
policy would dictste should not be said, but
l do not care as long as am right, believe
IN pensiOning every soldier now living that
went into the service, either for a long or
short term, who Was wounded IN the service
or contracted disease or has since, through
no fault of his own, become disabled. i be-
ieVe in pensiOning every soldier that has
arriven at the age Of g. Pass that kind of
law and justiceWill be done. Some say it is
too much. No, it is not. This country can
never pay the debt it owes the gallant men
who went out in her defense at a time when
the very life of the nation was assailed."
WASHINGTON, D. c., December 3O.-At the
Logan mansion this morning preparations
for the removal OF the dead stateman's body
was completed. The remains have been
placed in an deliberately draped casket in
the same chamber where the general died.
A square plate of silver in the middle Of the
cover bears the inscription:
